“Andrew was able to accommodate me with very little notice! He messages back quickly. He is very thorough with his check-ins and gives full updates and pictures. I felt completely at ease knowing he was taking care of my dog.”
“I will shout it to the end of time that Yumi and Cody are truly the best sitters. My cat has been going through some really tough medical issues (cancer, syncope, heart failure), and I honestly can say we would not have been able to get through these last few weeks without them. The level of care and attention they have provided is unbelievable (e.g., Cody took care to feed my cat in my bed because he wasn’t able to move around much). There is no one I trust as much as both of them to help support my cat through this time, and they both have made him so comfortable. As hard as it to go to work during this time, I feel at ease knowing they are checking on him. I feel very lucky to have found them.”
“This was our second time booking Lily to watch our two kitties and once again she made the process so easy and stress-free! We were really able to enjoy our trip knowing that our cats were well taken care of. We came home to happy kitties and a clean home. I can’t imagine a smoother pet-sitting experience!”
About: I’ve always loved animals, dogs and cats, so I’d love to help take care of your pet as if they were my own! Some of my previous job responsibilities include teaching and taking care of children, being a Programs and Events Coordinator at a Retirement home in San Francisco, and I have helped take care of a friend and her German Shepherd dog after a surgery. I am resourceful, kind, and family oriented. I currently live in the Ontario, CA area, but am from the Coachella Valley. I’m currently in classes in Redlands during the day, so I am available in the early mornings, and late afternoons and evenings and weekends to walk your dogs. I will make sure your pets are well taken care of with food, walking, play, and attention. I plan to create a relationship built on trust with your pet and your family,
About: My name is Monica, I live in a very spacious home with a large back and front yard.. I'm a stay at home mom which allows me the time to care for your dog/s 24/7. I have four children ages 12yrs, 16yrs, 19yrs, 25yrs old. We would love to make our home your pups home away from home.... I am a stay at home mom with all the time to play and watch your pup. My family and I love having the company of doggies of all sizes and breeds. They never seize to amaze us… We have a double fenced back tack and a pool for those pups that enjoy taking a splash. There’s a doggy door open at all time to give them the freedom of coming indoors or going outside to stretch. I’m a stay at home mom and spend lots of time outside cleaning the pool or yard which allows me the ability to play and keep an eye on all pups in my care. During hot season we tend to stay indoors with AC on to avoid overheating. I have a double fenced back yard and currently fostering 2 small doggies. I have crates for those doggies that require it and also a pool available to the water lovers on hot days…
“Mia is a fantastic pet sitter! Her friendly nature and dependability provides me with great peace of mind, knowing my dogs are in good hands. It's always a relief to find someone my pets enjoy being around that I can rely on.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 15 years. I've raised and cared for my 11-year-old toy poodle and his two brothers, who are now 14 and 15. I see pets as family and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will treat them with the same love and attention you would. I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs and understand they may need a little extra patience and gentleness. Dogs are some of my best friends, and I'll care for your pup as if they were my own. I work full time from home, so dogs in my care get company all day instead of hours alone in a crate or empty house. Doggy Day Care: Weekdays, 7:30am–5:30pm Drop your pup off in the morning and pick them up after work. Throughout the day they'll get playtime, walks, and trips to the dog parks at my apartment complex. I'll send photos and updates so you can see how they're doing. Weekends: Available by request, depending on my schedule. Just message me! Drop-In Visits: I'm happy to stop by for check-ins, potty breaks, feeding, or a quick walk during the day. House Sitting & Boarding: Available by request. Message me and we can figure out what works best for your pet. I only care for 1–2 client dogs at a time, so your pup gets close, one-on-one attention instead of getting lost in a crowd. For day care, boarding, and house sitting, I take small dogs under 15 lbs who are friendly with other small dogs. My senior toy poodle is sweet and still loves to play and run around, so your pup will have a buddy! I'm happy to set up a meet and greet first so everyone can get comfortable. Your pet's safety comes first. Before each booking, I'll go over your dog's routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs, and I'll follow your instructions closely. I always use secure leashes, keep doors closed, and have your vet's info on hand. I'll send photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing.
“Jacquelyn was an amazing cat and dog sitter! So responsible and caring for both of them and their health needs. I have already booked her again while we go on another trip! So excited to know she will be caring for them again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and had many family pets growing up. I have had experience caring for and walking dogs of various ages and temperaments. I can stay kind, patient, and conscientious every step of the way! I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt on the fly! Let me clear my mind and a bit of your to do list with a brisk or slow stroll with your four legged friend. I show respect to all species and will vow to take the safest and healthiest path each step of the way with your four legged family member. Open to suggestions and areas your pet may need extra attention or time on.
“Letitia is an awesome catsitter! She took great care of my little girl who sometimes is not too friendly. But Letitia won her over! Lilly was well taken care of and was just as happy to see me when I returned. I couldn't have asked for more. I will definitely request her again. She's great!! Thank you so much!!”
About: I have a yellow lab who is the goodest boy. Originally my daughter raised him to be a seeing eye dog but when he was career changed we got to keep him. I enjoy dogs and cats very much. You can often find us on a walk at a local park or sniffin around town. I work from home full time and get out about 3pm which clears up my schedule in the evenings. Plus I don’t work weekends. I keep my pets meal times on a flexible schedule followed by some sniffing around a potty break. I will follow whatever routine you prefer for your own fur babies.
“Natalie is awesome. Kind, caring, and reliable. She will check in without you even asking. My English bulldog is a little anxious around people but the first time she walked in he was so excited. Dogs know good people so she is definitely one. For hiring a stranger which I don’t feel she is now, she is professional and has an air of trust. This most recent visit my 4 year old son who she’s never met ran up and hugged her which was cute to see. On top of that he put a monkey on her head and she just went with it. I’ve had bad experiences with sitters so if your looking for the best it’s her. :)”
About: I grew up around cats and dogs and have experience working with both. I am very friendly and love animals of all breeds and sizes. I am available midday and afternoons on weekdays and midday and afternoons on the weekends to be able to take care of your fur babies. I am very friendly and caring towards animals and will give lots of cuddles and praises and pets and will play with them when they get playful.
About: Hi, I’m Preston! I’m a veterinary technician with 8+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets, including exotics and senior animals.

I am a single mom currently trying to have a more flexible work schedule to both be with my children and provide for them. Looking for something during the working hours of the week. But open to anything really When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medication administration, and litter or potty care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and minimizing stress, especially for senior pets, cats with special needs, or pets who are nervous or aggressive. I pay attention to subtle changes in behavior or health, communicate updates to the owner, and treat each home and pet with respect as if it were my own.
About: I’m an easygoing, active dog sitter who loves walks and playtime. You can count on me to keep your pup safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I am currently a stay at home mom but my husband works on weekends so I am lucky to have most of the week available! I’ll make sure each dog feels loved, comfortable, and safe. I’ll follow their routine, give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles like I do to my own.

Ursula made sure my girls were taken care of to the highest level. She is a cat whisperer, getting even my most standoffish cat’s affection! It felt like I was entrusting my kitties to a close family friend with how nice and friendly Ursula is. She made sure to clean everything up down to the cat dishes and mats, and made sure the girls had a clean environment. She also made sure to tire out my more social kitty and brushed/played with them until they knocked out! She also sends a lot of photos and updates so you always know what is going on with your kitties. I would 100% recommend booking Ursula for your babies and I will be rebooking again! Thank you soooo much again!
Braelyn was very conscientious and flexible with her time to get to know my dogs and learn about their midday routine prior to the actual drop-in visit. My dogs have taken to her, which is big deal as one of my dogs is quite judgy and wary of certain people. I appreciated her honesty and care for my crew.
Lily cared for our cat Spirit while we were away on our honeymoon and did a fantastic job, she was able to give her medicine, take care of her food water and littler all while giving her all the attention she needed! We will absolutely have her again in the future. Definitely recommend!
We recently had Victoria sit for our senior dog. She provided first class attention and love for our dog. She followed our instructions and we didn’t need to worry about leaving our pet. We would have Victoria come again whenever we needed a pet sitter. Thank you, Victoria!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
